FAQ

 

How do I prep my kids for a session?

Let them be themselves! The best smiles come when they’re playing, laughing, and not forced to sit still. Don’t stress—I’ll capture the magic in the chaos

Can I add an outfit beyond what my session allows?

Of course! Each extra outfit is $50, and it’s a great way to add more variety to your gallery.

How do I choose my outfits?

Once you book, I’ll send you my style guide filled with tips on colors, textures, and patterns that look amazing on camera. Think comfy, coordinated, and true to you.

How do I pick a location?

After you book, I’ll send over a fun questionnaire to get a feel for your vibe. I’ll then suggest locations that match your story—whether that’s golden fields, downtown charm, or something uniquely you.

What if my partner isn’t into photos?

Don’t worry—I’m basically a pro at making photo sessions feel easy and fun. No stiff poses here. I’ll guide you through natural prompts that bring out genuine laughs and connection.

When will I get my photos back?

You’ll get a sneak peek within a few days (because I know the excitement is real!) and your full gallery within 2–3 weeks.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, please bring your pup! Dogs are part of the family too. Just pack a leash and a few treats, and we’ll make sure they get their moment in the spotlight. 🐶

What happens if it rains?

We’ll reschedule if needed, no stress. Sometimes, we can even make cozy indoor magic happen. Either way, I’ve got you covered.
